Elisabeth Borne received this Wednesday morning the new boss of the Republicans, Éric Ciotti.
A Republican courtesy visit but also to discuss with a partner who will count again in the coming months.
On the agenda: pension reform and the asylum-immigration bill.
The new president of the Republicans, Éric Ciotti, met this Wednesday Élisabeth Borne to discuss pension reform and the asylum-immigration bill.
On both subjects, the Republicans (LR) will be the group favored by the government to obtain an absolute majority.
Gérald Darmanin said it bluntly in
Le Figaro
this Wednesday morning: "Everything that LR has always asked for on immigration, we offer it".
He cites, among other things, the return of the double penalty or the strengthening of integration by learning French.

Republicans hostile to the creation of a residence permit for jobs in tension
Even if the bill has just been unveiled, the hostility of the Republicans to the creation of a residence permit for jobs in tension is already known.
LR denounces, like the National Rally, a massive regularization plan.
His vote, far from certain, will therefore be the subject of tough negotiations.
Negotiations that have already started on pension reform.
Éric Ciotti told Élisabeth Borne this morning that LR was in favor of a decline in age, but without it being too brutal.
Here too, the vote of the Republicans will be decisive, but their position lacks clarity.
The group in the Assembly is split and the internal campaign for the presidency of the party has again divided a party which no longer really needed it.
